      A song like "Fire" is the result of a lot of hard work not just spontaneous combustion. W.C. Handy, Louis Armstrong, Billy Strayhorn, Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Charlie Parker, Miles Davis, Dizzy Gillespie, Jimi Hendrix on through the R&B/Funk bands these guys had music training. The number of members of this band of players is long, they were formed in 1959.

      Now yeah. Back in my day they were the top funk band in the nation. George Clinton came to visit almost weekly to find his grouve to part from the rock he was playing. They had a whole other vibe until their leader got drunk and quit his own dam band. They wrote Funky Worm and became a national sensation just after PAIN kinda began the Funk Movement taking blues and adding a whole other grouve then placing the drama of the bass driven back. Sly did it and those who had a ear picked up on it then FUNK was born

      They did. Their front man , on trumpet (Satch) reportedly handled their money - ended up Not paying their taxes etc. Spent alot of money on lavish things for himself. That were shocked when IRS hit them with a huge tax debt - they thought the saxophone man Satch was taking it outta their earnings handling their business.

      @@ohioplayer Satch handled their money. Paying them outta their royalties, performances etc. They THOUGHT he was paying their taxes in the process of handling the money, but he wasn't. They didn't find out until IRS hit each of them with a HUGE tax debt. They each had to answer to IRS, scrape up money and make installments to pay off IRS. They were furious with Satch because even though he gave them money for shows, royalties etc., the books and receipts showed a lotta more money went thru his hands unaccounted for that shouda been going toward taxes. They wanted to know what he did with that excess money...but I think he in turn got angry and gave them his azz to kiss. They filed a lawsuit against him..he bailed ship.
